A month ago I sent a cold message to a meetup organizer with a rough idea for a short talk about AI-assisted coding chaos.

At that point it was basically just a rant: "Why does asking an LLM to add one button end with half the repo rewritten?"

Since then:
— I gave the first version of the talk
— turned it into a dev.to article
— got surprisingly good discussions out of it
— and now I'm doing another session for Azure Meetup Konstanz

One thing I realized during this process: writing about engineering and speaking about engineering are completely different skills. When you write, you can edit weak parts away. When you speak, weak ideas become visible immediately.

The topic is still the same: how to use AI coding tools without turning your project into entropy.
